Yes!!! Finally met up with Alice Bird and Cai! ABC! Love their company greatly as always... It's amazing how our friendship started off! =) Thank you girls for being a big part of my life and cheers to the many great years ahead! =)
And Alice! Thanks for blessing me with the 2 'Secret Garden' CDs and for being strong enough to not rip it for yourself first lol.. Han na.. I will send it to u la.. lol.. When we talked.. We somehow always end up expressing our strong opinions about issues and I think it's more fun and enriching rather than plain talks...
Anyway, check out 29-05-2007's Straits Times Forum... About how a person with A,B,E and C for GP couldn't get into NUS, NTU or SMU.. (Local uni) I'm rather confused. WHAT DOES THE GOVERNMENT WANT?!?!?!?!
They promised us a good education in singapore. Sounds good.. So we studied. On the other hand, they are recruiting a hell lot of rich and smart elites from overseas, thus competing with the majority of the 'average' students in singapore. So the question posted in the forum was, are the universities here trying to raise their ranks or cash in more money instead? I was thinking, with them being so heavily funded why the toot don't they open up more vacancies? So where the toot are those 'average' students going? Don't blame them for migrating and not returning after the treatment they receive here..
If only I have more money, I would definitely have studied elsewhere.. Far from singapore.. The thought is tempting really... And really, those foreigners don't have to travel here, they can jolly well stay safe and snug in their own countries if only the universities here set up some small and exclusive private U in those countries...
Now, don't tell me about being a global citizen. In Singapore.... When the citizens can't even develop themselves here -> .
I will not blame the government...
I will not blame the government...
I will not blame the government...

Had my second lesson with my tuition kids today.. Come to think of it, I quite enjoy teaching.. haha.. However, it's scary to see pri5 kids studying familiar topics you find in a jc curriculum.. So I ended up sharing with them knowledge I learnt in jc too... Cos they are real inquisitive and kept bombarding me...
One of the questions we came across was..
What is the difference btw respiration and photosynthesis?
That's a hot favourite jc bio essay question...
And they recited the definition of 'respiration'..
Respiration = food + oxygen -> energy -> carbon dioxide + water
*Jaw drop*
And they learnt to draw plant and animal cells!!! Cmon.. Pri 5??? And they learnt about human reproductive system and even umbilical cord and its functions.. When my students couldn't even pronounce it right.. ("Unbelievable cord" Oh my I burst out laughing..LOL)
Kid: Teacher... Then sunflower got stigma and anther??
Me: .... *thought hard....... Of an exit lol*
One of the diagrams shows the cross-section of an anther!!! Which I first saw only in jc..
And they talked to me about pokemon.. PSP.. DS... *pull hair* LOL.. Erm... Maybe I should start watching saturday morning cartoons to stay relevant..... At least a bit...
One of the topics I taught was about electrical circuits.. They were so enthusiastic about doing the experiment!! And was frowning when they told me that their teachers didn't allow them to do it in school.. LOL.. So I got one to dig out her bulb.. aluminium and a battery.. What happened was.. She couldn't find aluminium and brought out her metal JELLY MOULD instead.. Didn't have a small bulb and so we used a bigger-than-normal sized bulb.. which the battery couldn't light up.. LOL! We even substituted the jelly mould with stretched spring she took from her pens.. But we didn't succeed la. LOL!! *obviously* So I promised to bring my small torchlight bulb for them next lesson.. LOL...
And as usual I said something unglam..
"the light will bulb up..."
*blush*
LOL!!
Hey... Learning and teaching should be fun right!! Haha.. But of cos I have a certain expectation too... So this is a glimpse of how the next generation is like. Time for self-evaluation!!!
*God You're amazing... You're wonderful to me...*

I am so blessed today!!!
Jeff called me out of the blue after svc and blessed me with FIFTY dollars!!! It was truly help in time of (urgent) need as my resources have already run dry... Truly God is our Provider and in Him we do not have to fear... =)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.
Psalms 23:6

Take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carrying on
True to a promise I can ride in a storm
Take it like a man who knows about love
And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart
Take it like a man
Michelle Wright - Take It Like A Man

Went to SGH ytd with Edmund, my beloved cgl, and Kailin, my beloved cg member and friend. I felt soo bad la... Made everyone waited so long with me.. But I'm so grateful for them! If not for KL those hours would seem like eternity.. Thanks for the company!! And Edmund! He came at 11 plus at night and paid my fee!! Thank God for sending these people in time of need.. =) But I still feel bad for troubling them...
And anyway, my injury was just a tendon tear... -_-
Freaked out for nth.. But now that I know it gives me a peace of mind..
The crack sound that I heard was due to the tendon being pulled, thus shifting the kneecap upward causing the sound..
Very chey one... LOL..
Thank God that it's so minor..
And just now!! My tuition kid's mum called out of the blue.. And to my amusement and pleasure, told me that she 'bluffed' the tuition agency that she 'doesn't want me' and 'will consider first'... (it sounded hilarious for her to be telling me that, we kept laughing la LOL!) And wanted me to play along with her plot when the agency calls me just so that I don't have to pay the agency!!!!!!! Thank God for favour!!!!! Goodness.. That would cost me a whopping $120.. I was very very surprised to hear that cos was supposed to have my first lesson with them ytd, but have to cancel due to the visit to hospital... I thot the mum sounded kinda unhappy.. But things turned out better than my expectation.. =) !
And thanks Schu for HANUTA!
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Just woke up from a 5-hour nap.. erm.. Sleep.. Argh......................
Had long jump just now... It was terrible....
I took off using my left leg which was the weaker one...
Think the impact was too hard on my knee...
In midair after taking off... I thot to myself "Sh*t... That's it......"
Upon landing, I heard a loud crack in my left knee...
Next moment I knew, tears were streaming down without my permission!
I normally don't cry when I'm injured...
But this time I guess it was the sound of the crack and the initial excruciating pain that freaked me..
And I suspected it's either a torn ligament or a shifted kneecap, now that my knee feels 'loose'........
Was supposed to be the fourth runner of a 4x100m relay team as well... Cos they couldn't find anyone at the last minute.. Ended up they had to find another replacement.. Hope I didn't lower their morale... Sigh. It's bad to back off a team after agreeing to be part of it... Totally no sportsmanship la.. But bo bian...
To date, my left leg had broken it's own record (a try-too-hard pun) of having at least 4 sprained ankle, 1 foot problem due to improper landing during badminton.. scarred knee (due to rollerblade) and now this knee thingy.. All in one leg!!! LOL.. I think today's the final straw for me... and perhaps marks the end of my 10-yr sportsmanship.. Gotta resign to be an official gu niang now.. NOOOOOOOOOOO..................... Sigh.
And Cai thanks for being by my side all the while!!!! My bestie!! You did real GREAT for swimming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) So proud of u la!!
Anyway, philharmonic orchestra will be performing on the 2nd night of Emerge. Stay tuned!! (Another try-too-hard pun) Heh. =)

Hmmm... I've been pondering over this for a month or two already.. (That's really long for someone who doesn't think a lot..) We have been told once we know how to understand simple languages that we have to respect our seniors. Yet, on the other hand, we are told that respect has to be earned... And why do we still have to respect given that the seniors don't reciprocate sometimes... Izzit solely for pride reason..
During a shower recently, it dawned upon me out of the blue as a revelation... YES, it's all about the age... Number does matter.... See, as we grow older, we inevitably see more of 'the world'.. experienced more hardship and failures.. And every year, these accumulate and make us stronger. And for that, being the younger ones, we are always one step (or more) behind... And for that they should have already earned our respect.... BAM it really hit me..
Of course being older doesn't mean that they are always right... But it doesn't give us the license to be disrespectful either.
It's real amazing how God speaks to us... Thank God for letting me see things I can't see by my natural eyes...

Just watched "The Pianist"... Read the book too.. It shows a gist of a Jewish pianist's (Wladyslaw Szpilman) fate during the Holocaust...
On the way for extermination..
Szpilman: Halina (His sis) , I know it's a little funny.. But I wish I had known you better..
Szpilman in hiding in a friend's house...
Friend: If the Germans come in, jump out of the window. Don't let them get you alive.
The whole show took around 2 hours plus but it was worth watching! Cos it resembles closely what actually happened during the war... The scenes are acted out according to the book which was what Wladyslaw had witnessed and experienced.. Some gruesome scenes were not shown though.. So reading a book is more interesting as you are the one 'directing' the entire movie...
Currently reading 'the great escape'.. Eh.. Quite detailed with a lot of characters involved.. Kinda lost sometimes... But the gist of it is how the POWs escaped the concentration camps by digging underground tunnels... See, when we are desperate enough.. Nothing can stop us from reaching our goal.. Even death. Horrr...
Having the "great leap forward" (long jump) tmr! I wonder how will I perform having lived a sedentary lifestyle for monthsss already..
err.. Very history horr.. hahaha..
*no one loved me like you...*

Grumpy old women make me go *whateverrrrrr*................
They love to magnify small issues.....
(Err thanks... my life is happening enough...)
They love to grumble over trivial issues.............
Well maybe I'm not understanding enough.....
And the least I can do is to take everything in stride... (again..)
Thank God for giving me wisdom and strength at that point of time........
Cos I very much felt like 'reasoning'.......
But I guess there was no point anyway.........
Bad day at work... zzz....
Went Esplanade alone again to read my book... Saw the sun set behind the skyscraper and i was very captivated by the warm hue of the sky... It kinda 'officially' closed the day and stilled the hustle and bustle of the marketplace as darkness consumed...
Walked over to Riverwalk for zone meeting.. It was awesome.. The presence of God was overwhelming... An idea came to me during worship... Woo.. *rub hands* gonna try it on my piano tmr... =) Every big thing comes from a small idea ya.. =) What a great way to end my day with God by my side... I found myself smiling all the way home hehehehe...

Cello lesson today!! I think it was great~ =)
There will be a rehearsal tmr.. Anticipating! =)
Love doing things that I love.. =)
Somehow, the cello isn't that heavy anymore... The lethargy after work vapourises like alcohol on warm skin... And shopping seems dull and boring in juxtaposition...
But I haven't reached the 'fanatic' level yet I guess.. But maybe on my way? See, everytime I'm out, I wish I can be at home playing my piano... Coming up with new melodies... It's real frustrating when a nice melody strikes you out of the blue when you are out, with nothing to seal the spontaneity... And most of the time, it slips away like a viper in the desert sand.. Hidden in the deep nowhere...
Very emo hor.. LOL..
*A silent melody which makes me smile...*

Oh great..... Got scolded twice today by my DM again........ But I guess we just gotta take stuff like that in stride....
"Hmm.. Ok... ya... mmm... ok......"
No need for 'self-defense', it will reflect so badly on us.... Sometimes I'd wonder why do they give an amateur so much responsibilities.. That I always am so bothered by work even during off-work period.. That I had 2 nightmares relating to work.. That I broke down once during work.. Somehow my heart always knows that God has a bigger plan for me when He put me there.. A plan that is yet to be revealed.. I guess that is the strength that has kept me going for the past 3 1/2 months... (aileen in an office?!) However my capacity is obviously not big enough yet.. So I'm really glad to have this chance to be part of the workforce and be stretched by the world...
Anyway, they decided to extend my stay there for a month... Yay...... This time I don't have to cover anyone anymore cos the 2 persons will be back again.. (from giving birth and holiday) So basically I'll be doing brainless stuff... Haha..
Siemens still rocks ok.. LOL...
*And the things of the world will grow strangly dim... In the light of His glory and grace...*

Application status (for NUS)
The general stages for the application status are
Application received --> Application processing --> Outcome of application
Your current status is Application processing.
Zzz... Faster leh...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's mothers' day today! Hehe. Went for a simple dinner with mum and bro and had a brief catch up.. It was so heartwarming when my cg Eugene hugged his mum during svc.. I almost teared... Mothers are really wei da... They can't afford to sit in front of the TV after a day's work... Can't bring themselves not to be bothered over a missing button on our uniform.. More concerned about our health than we are of our own... and not forgetting those days where they put up a front just so that we can be kept in ignorance things that they are suffering...
Sounds like your mum too?
Mothers make the world goes round! A million cheers!

They say "Don't play with fire."
I say "Don't play with old flames."
It's a risk I don't wanna take...
It's a risk that wouldn't be worth...
solution: Remain dao!
Anyway, had a real good class outing ytd!!! It felt so good to see my classmates once again! After.. 3 yrs?? I always couldn't turn up for the previous outings, but this time! My friend and I organised so I'd better be there.. LOL... It felt like a family outing actually but we were still in our usual cliques hahaha.. And it seemed like history was brought back to the present.. We still laughed at the same jokes and made fun of the same person.. LOL! Too bad bird wasn't there! Aww.. If not the teasing would double hahaha..
The class girls!
Moo was commenting that our guys seemed to grow shorter.. LOL!
It was a real sweet night... Just that I K.O-ed too early.. (Gone is my late-night out stamina..)
Cheers to 3/4D and FUHUA!!! =)

Ah... Been down with cough and flu for the past few days.. Argh... Feeling so fragile now...
Staying at home is kinda boring.. No mood to play my piano too... 2 nights ago my dad decided to go for a joyride since we were both bored... And we ended up in east coast! We were kinda fascinated by the beach at night haha.. There were numerous stars glistening in the otherwise dark sky... and the waves were... mysterious looking.. So both of us, we walked along the beach and he kept insisting that the tides are coming in.. Haha.. Saw a few lone runners too and a lot of couples.... On a tuesday night? That's sweet. =)
Finished reading 'The Pianist' and went to borrow another book about war again... Titled "The Great Escape". It's about how a bunch of prisoners-of-war escaped captivity. I always like reading about recollections of war.. Haha.. well, not that I'm sadistic.. But through these stories, they show the ultimate strength and courage of a human being.. Where ordinary men become heros... Where a glimmer of hope ensures survival for one more day.. Where relationships are tested.. And of cos they show the worst side of a human being too. I often wonder what makes a person kill another... What did they tell themselves before killing? How did they feel after killing? I would wish to talk to a murderer someday.......... To find out what was actually on their mind.... Ok now I sound real gothic. Hahahaha..
Class outing tmr with my sec sch friends!!!!!!!! Fuhua rockssss..... Love it... And yes!!! It's friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sermon was great! Now I finally get the whole picture of what being broken is all about...
It's abt breaking our outer shell (pride, honour, 'face'...) and allowing God to come into our lives to take control... Knowing that we are nothing without God... And God says Blessed are those people..
Went to watch Spiderman3 with schu n pierson, it was a really good show! 4/5.. I thot I wouldn't understand cos I missed the previous series, but it turned out great.. Haha.. Though at some parts when spiderman moved too quickly, I closed my eyes cos I had a bad throbbing headache... Which led to a fever now..
Ah.. The agony... Feel like my blood vessels in my head are gonna burst anytime... Koolfever is a good invention i think haha.. Looks quite cute also haha.. BUT I WANNA GET HEALED FAST... I gotta help out in my office.. (that's my main concern..) and give tuition.. and my cello practices.. Can't afford (literally) to fall sick! And I confess, God is my healer!
*There's gotta be more to life than this......*

Though at some parts when spiderman moved too quickly, I closed my eyes cos I had a bad throbbing headache... Which led to a fever now..
Ah.. The agony... Feel like my blood vessels in my head are gonna burst anytime... Koolfever is a good invention i think haha.. Looks quite cute also haha.. BUT I WANNA GET HEALED FAST... I gotta help out in my office.. (that's my main concern..) and give tuition.. and my cello practices.. Can't afford (literally) to fall sick! And I confess, God is my healer!
*There's gotta be more to life than this......*

Dad: I think you cannot be a counsellor la.. your heart is too soft...
Vick's friend: You can't be a psychologist in Singapore..
God: If you can see it, you can have it.
God: Nothing is impossible with Me.
God: Whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

I woke up this morning still feeling happy over what happened last night hehehe... =)
Work was stressful today though..... My colleague went for a holiday to Holland for ard 2 weeks.. And thus I have to juggle between being a receptionist and dealing with HR matters.... THEY SHOULD DOUBLE MY PAY...... But well, I'm just a humble temp staff who has to help around and stand in the gap (to be kicked ard more like it...) But i don't mind, cos like I said, i see this as a training ground and indeed I've learnt a lot a lot these 3 months.. Hey, it's a sweet deal! I got to learn and get paid for that..
Unlike my cellooo............... Went to withdraw a STACK of $50 today..
Me: Oh ya, I give you the money now..
Teacher: Wow.. That's a lot of money..
Me: YA................. (Duh....)
Ouch.... ='( Pain...
But still I confess, God is my Provider.
Dad came and fetched me after my lesson and we went to eat at Newton Circles (Actually i was the only one eating la..) And Newton Circles has the best street singer ever in Singapore.... He totally livened up the whole atmosphere.. And that was the first time my dad ever wanted me to eat slowER so that he could listen longer.. I was very very impressed with the singer... Everything about his singing and guitar was just right and he played my favourite genre too! While I was happily eating my favourite Mee Pok hehehe..
alright, i'm off..

YESSSSS....
Orchestra prac was awesome today~~ Felt I've improved slightly...
And eric drove me home!!!!!!! He's such an awesome person.. Very 'clickable'... =) I like our conversation a lot.. He actually asked if I wanna play the DOUBLE BASS..... My first thot was Ok. I don't mind learning a new instrument..... second thot was Do I have to BUY one?! (This horrifies me greatly...)
Really no money no music sia...
He said if the orchestra has more money then perhaps he will get a teacher to teach me one to one.. Just a very raw idea though.. But still cello is the best la Lol...
Having cello lesson tmr!! My teacher is really nice n patient la.. I haven't paid him a cent thus far......... (Paying tmr!!) And he didn't ask... Sigh.. The more I should play better...
Alright man.. I'm off =)
*Passion burns...* (My wallet..)
